The scientific fraud underlying global warming theory is starting to be exposed (see our first post on the subject), as data manipulations have been discovered, and now, news of the placement of temperature measuring devices in locations designed to yield artificially high readings, such as next door to a crematorium. The excellent site Watts Up With That exposes the data-gathering scandal.

Australia's ruling Labor Party is seeking to impose an expensive emissions trading scheme. Barnaby Joyce, the leader of the small conservative National Party in the Australian Senate has denounced the move in unusually pointed language. Perhaps the GOP could learn a thing or two from Down Under..

Global warming theory represents one of the greatest scientific con games in history. The putative intellectual foundations are based on data manipulated to support the desired conclusion, and have been conclusively debunked.

Andrew G. Bostom pulls together a beginning history of the steps by which the theory was sold. Unscientific studies came to be embraced as conclusive, their debunkers targeted for abuse. The remarkable hockey stick graph and the effort to "get rid" of the Medieval Warm Period (whose temperature rise dwarfs anything in the last century) are among the scandalous abuses of science covered here.
